THURSDAY. MARCH 22, 19C0,
WISE DEMOCRATIC ACTION.
General State Primary , Hay 15th.
State Convention, June 14th,
These dates were fixed by the State
Democratic Executive Committee at
^ its meeting in Atlanta last Friday.
Besides the regular ticket for State
House officers, the people will have an
opportunity to vote direct for United
States Senator to succeed Senator
O. Bacon, who it now appears will
have no opposition.
In those judicial circuits where the
terms of Judges or Solicitors expire,
tlie people will vote direct for their
choice to (ill the vacancy,and the con
soiidated vote will be reported to the
State Convention, and the name of
the one receiving the largest number
of votes cast in his circuit will
placed upon the state ticket. This
thoroughly Democratic, and does away
with the possibility of the will of the
people being defeated by any conven
tion combinations.
Registration for the year 1900 is re
quired, as the state law demands, but
not tax-paying for the year. Of
course,all taxes for the previous years
must be paid.
The “glad hand” was extended by
the committee to every white man
the state to vote in the primary who
will agree to abide liy the results, thus
giving an opportunity for erstwhile
members of the disintegrating pop
ulist- party to return to tile Democratic
fold as tiie “white man’s party” in
Georgia.
The State Executive Committee is
to be congratulated on its wise action
throughout, and its action will greatly
strengthen the party. It makes, more
and more apparent tile fact that the
Democratic party will continue to be
the controlling political factor
Georgia, and that all who wish to have
a hand in shaping public affairs must
work within its fold. To Hon. Flem
ing duBignon, the distinguished chair
man, is due much of the credit for
this wise and conservative party action
spring’s cold shoulder.
Gentle(?) Spring, we’d like to scold her;
She hasn’t-done just as we told her,
Eolus has thus far controlled her,
And none there are who will uphold *er.
But, Spring, now you’re getting older,
We find our hopes are growing bolder
That you’ll get warm instead ot colder,
And not give us tho cold, cold shoulder.
—THE RUSTLER.
THE WHITE PRIMARY.
One week from next Wednesday the
white people of Polk decide whether
or not they want a white primary for
county officers.
Tlie people want it!
And they are in earnest about it!
We have never seen such unanimity
of sentiment among tlie good people
of the county, in spite of the sneakin
work of a few scheming politicians—
whose motives are well known—to
“wet blanket” the movement.
The thinking people of Polk regard
it as the greatest movement for tlie
practical purification of county poli
tics that could possibly be devised.
Th (1 y want 110 more such disgraceful
campaigns as tlie last one proved to be
in Polk, and they know that the white
primary is the only way to stop such
rottenness.
" herever the white primary lias
been tried, nothing would induce tlie
people to go back to the old vote-
buying and whiskey-using methods.
Candidates for county, office, where
the plan has been adopted, find that
it enables a poor man to run for office
as well as the man with money.
Turn out and vote for the wlii e
primary on Wednesday, April 4th,
and vote for three members of the
Primary Committee in your district
who are straight-out white primary
men. Select, if possible, one from
each party—Democratic, populist and
republican. I11 some districts there
are no white republicans, and votes
will have to be cast for representative
citizens of other parties, but be sure
tg_.select men J.a.. larod| -of"tliej*w.ove r
ment. Remember that it is a strictly
non-partisan movement.
The Staxdard will be glad to pub-
lislunext week suggestions for com
mitteemen from the various districts.

you ever figure on tlie amount
Did
0 cash turned loose in Cedartown
? v l : ry Saturday evening by our various
industrial enterprises?
-1 lie result of the calculation would
surprise you by its size, and gratify
you by its importance as a prosperity
maker.
A Standard tnan interviewed Mr.
• 0. Pitts, theaccommodatingcashier
of the Commercial Bank, on this sub
ject the other day, the amounts for the
various pay-rolls passing through his
hands.
Something over $7,500 a week, or
between .$30,000 and $35,000 a month,
or nearly $400,000 a year is paid out by
these industries!
the enterprises which make this
gratifying showing for Cedartown are
the Cedartown Cotton Company, the
Alabama and Georgia Iron Company,
the North Georgia Mining Company,
the VValineta Knitting Mills, the G.
Featlierston Mining Company, the
East & West and C. R. & S. railroads,
the W. W. Prior Foundry, G. W.
Lindsey’s coaling operations, and the
new Standard Mills now in process of
construction.
Just think of it—$7,500 a week in
cash, the most of which goes over the
counters of our merchants or finds its
way to the pockets of onr house
owners!
And every one of these industries is
constantly increasing its output and
pay-roll, every one of them being in a
growing and prosperous condition.
This shows the importance to Cedar
town of her manufacturing enter
prises, and shows besides that Cedar-
town’s foundation for prosperity is
substantial and her future prospects
unsurpassed in brightness.
May these enterprises all prosper,
and may others follow!
The many friends of ex-Sheriff G.
W. Bullard, of Buchanan, regret to
learn of his’death by accident at Tal
lapoosa last week Wednesday night,
lie was spending the night there, and
fell .from a second-story window, strik
ing the ground on his head and death
resulting from concussion of the brain.
The opponents of tlie white primary
are going to be as much surprised at
the size of tlie vote on Wednesday,
April 4th, as they were at the size of
the recent white primary mass meet
ing. The people are in earnest and
aroused on this matter, and there is a
land-slide of popular wrath awaiting
any scheming politicians who may op
pose it.
Cedartown, the queen city of the
rich and resourceful Cedar Valley, is
given considerable space in this issue

Superior Court closed yesterday-
afternoon, and Judge Janes finished
up the work of the mills of Justice
this morning by passing sinenses
on all parties convicted.

been transacted.

week, Solicitor General Roberts has
secured verdicts or. pleas of guilt in

now the court calendar is the small
est it has been for fifteen or twenty
years. He is growing in public favor
as an able'and impartial jurist, and

waded through to reduce t he busi
ness of the courts to their present
gratifying conditions.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Sarah Crabb, whose maiden
name was Mis9 Sarali Peek, was born
in Putnam county in 1831, and died
March 13, 1900. She was married to
W. D. Crabb in 1S49 Ten children
blessed their union, six of whom
survive her who rise up and call her
blessed. She has been a consistent
member of tlie Baptist church for
forty-eight 1 years. The people who
knew her best loved her most. It can
be truly said that we thank God for
her life among us. Her sweet memory
will be.kept green and sacred among
the tenderest recollections of our
hearts. She has been an invalid for
three years, but she bore her afflictions
with Christian fortitude. Now that
the twilight of heaven's morn has
dawned upon her spiritual vision, she
is rejoicing with those loved ones who
preceded her to the glory land, where
sickness, sorrow, pain and death are
felt and feared no more. She has lived
among the people of Polk county for
a number of years, and there is no
need to try to extol her virtues to a
people 'who know her so well. The
bereaved family desires to express
their kindest gratitude to the people
of Fish Creek and especially to Rev.
and Mrs. Oswalt for the many favors
shown them during their afflictions.
With our unwavering faith in God
and his providences, knowing he can
not err, in the midst of tltis cloud of
gloom we still rejoice in the hope of a
reunion happy and eternal in the city
of our God. A Friend.

such as she to come unto Him. Bettie
was a bright little girl, bnt with this
world ol sin she is done, her spirit rov
ing in the plains of Paradise. Mother,

Is one key note to all music so there is one key
note to health. A woman might as well try
to fly without wings as to feel well and look
well while the organs that make her a woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
inside or she can’t be healthy outside. There
are thousands of women suffering silently all
over the country. Mistaken modesty urges
their silence. While there is nothing more
admirable than a modest woman, health is
of the first importance. Every other con
